Fabulous Freda Barton is in a league of her own when it comes to raising vital cash for people who are battling against cancer.

With the support of family and friends, the Paisley woman has generated an incredible total of £20,523 for Macmillan Cancer Support over the last six years.

Now her amazing efforts have been praised by charity bosses.

Freda, of Gallowhill, raised more than £4,500 for Macmillan last year alone.

Throughout the year, Freda and her fundraising crew have attended local fetes, taken part in fun runs and held a charity night at St Peter’s Men’s Club.

And the 69-year-old grandmother said it is a real thrill to break through the £20,000 fundraising barrier.

However, she knows that feat wouldn’t have been possible with the help of many other people.

Freda said: “We would like to thank everyone who supports us at the various events we have held.”

In the past, Freda has also raised cash for Paisley’s ACCORD Hospice and the Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Alexandra Hospital.

In total, she has raised an incredible £36,000 for good causes over the years.

April Andrews, fundraising manager for Macmillan Cancer Support, said: “The support Freda and her family give Macmillan is amazing and we cannot thank them enough.

“They are extremely generous and we simply could not continue to support people affected by cancer if it was not for people like Freda.

“With 14,000 people receiving a cancer diagnosis in the west of Scotland every year, the job of Macmillan is more vital than ever and, thanks to these amazing donations, we can continue to offer medical, emotional, practical and financial support to people in Paisley affected by cancer.”
